DBM Questions

Hello all, I'm a newb here so I apologize in advance if have some silly questions... Just picked up a New Vanguard II / Leupold package and was pleasantly surprised to find it has a detachable box magazine... which is something that I have become accustomed to not having, however, this is something handy

So.... to my questions....

I noticed the DBM is a "3+1". Anyone have ANY idea why 3+1 and not 4+1 like the internal hinged floorplate design of my previous Vanguard?

2: Why plastic? For weight? Is there a metal mag made for it?

thats about it.... haven't shot the rifle yet... been too busy... but soon!

Welcome to the Nation. I don't have a Vanguard with a detectable magazine, but many designs have a magazine that stack the cartridges in a straight vertical arrangement versus a staggered arrangement, thus the loss of capacity. Is this the case with yours?

I don't believe anything other than a polymer magazine has been manufactured, but the polymer magazines hold up pretty well.
